Most Bushnells are better than folks give them credit for. While I am a confirmed fan of the Zeiss Conquest, I have two Bushnell Trophy scopes as well, and I've never been disappointed with them. I've taken three times as many game animals with my Bushnells as I have with my Zeiss scopes. The Trophy 3-9x40 can be had for well under $100. The optics aren't quite as crisp or sharp as the Zeiss but they are still quite good, and the resettable fingertip adjustments are great, better than Zeiss' in my opinion.
Still, if you've got an extra five bills some day, treat yourself to a Zeiss, or one of the beteer Leupolds. Good galss doesn't spoil you - - it RUINS you!
